Wanda always thought it was super cheesy and cringey when couples celebrated their months together. 'Whole month together, love you with all my heart' 'A month with you is an eternity in heaven~' But...maybe she was beginning to understand why they did it.
She counted every day she spent with Seb, every night the two of them could cuddle together and sleep, holding each other. Days after meeting his mom and formally meeting all his family, after Wanda had made sure it was safe for him (health wise) not to have anything in his eye socket, since that odd yellow eye he had was gone now, they went shopping. They also went to the hairdresser together (People gave Seb AND Wanda a few weird looks at the way Sebastian acted, but she knew they were just JEALOUS her partner was amazing and his masculinity wasn't fragile and subjected to stereotypes) and celebrated their 24 hour time together in a fancy restaurant. It meant more for them than any other couple. They had been separated for long enough, and they refused to waste any moment they could spend together.
The two joked around before going out, Wanda pouted and tried to shield her face as Seb tried to put fake eyelashes on her. "Wanda~ You AGREED this morning!"
"Well, I changed my mind!" The natural blonde whined. "What a baby~ I swear you'll look amazing~Just look at me~" Seb fluttered his eyelashes.
Wanda laughed and pulled him closer for a kiss. "Ok...Just because you look too handsome for me to say no…"
They stayed in the restaurant talking, laughing and staring into each other's eyes until they were kicked out.
The two stayed in a hotel for the few free days they had before returning...They... didn't want to bother Stan with the accommodations or cause them any trouble or noise~ Stan and Carla had a little boy who needed sleep and all~
...and neither Seb nor Wanda were planning to 'sleep' until they collapsed in exhaustion together on the bed.
-.-
Seb said bye to his brothers a few days later after the 'prank'. He was a bit sad, but they were going to see each other again soon for Christmas.
He moved in with Wanda, of course, and the first thing he did was complain about how it was all dusty. "Well, in my defense, I lived here alone...I didn't use the space very much…" It was a nice flat, quite spacious with two rooms, a nice living room connected to the dining room, a kitchen and two bathrooms (one in the hall and another connected to Wanda's bedroom). "Well, now I'm here! And we're cleaning this place!" Seb wrinkled his nose and shook his head in disapproval.
Wanda chuckled and hugged his arm. "Yes, you're here…"
-.-
Wanda's parents couldn't believe at first that the (really handsome) man Wanda was introducing them to was Sebastian, the little, awkward teen they met years ago. But after their initial shock, Linda started crying. They were thrilled to see Sebastian again. Well, thrilled was a big understatement. Her mom had given her poor boyfriend a flying tackle hug and sobbed into his shoulder. "MY SWEET BABY! YOU'RE ALIVE!"
Sebastian wasn't sure how to react. "Ma'am…"
"Just call me Linda! Or mother." Linda Friedman wiped her eyes and smiled at the handsome man that skinny boy had grown up into. She had missed a lot feeding him. Sebastian blushed. "O-oh…" Wanda's father, Elijah, walked up to pat Sebastian's back before pulling him for a fast hug. "I'm glad you're alive, son. But I would have preferred paying your hospital bill again more than worrying over your survival for over ten years." He said solemnly.
Seb blinked up at the other man. Then he looked down at the woman in his arms. "O-oh…" His remaining eye teared up. Wanda's parents really cared about him that much? He… he never knew...Very few people outside his family have cared for him...
"Oh gosh, sweetie, are you crying?!" Linda gasped and her hands flew to her mouth. Seb shook his head. "No, please don't worry, I-I'm j-j-just-" Seb stuttered, he WAS crying, but he wasn't trying to. He didn't mean to. He… he was…
"It's okay son. We're just happy you're safe." Elijah smiled at the younger man and leaned in to hug him as well, the couple holding Sebastian close. Seb sniffled. Son. He… he had called him son. W-was this what it was supposed to feel like? To have a father who… who loved him? Matsuda was always like this too...but-but he had forgotten what-what it felt like… it had been so LONG. He should pay him a visit, he needed to. What an ungrateful bastard, after all he did for him and he hadn't visited his tomb once.
"I-I'm sorry…" He hiccuped, trying, and failing, not to cry. The Friedman family didn't criticize him for crying though, they just held him until he calmed down. Wanda had joined the hug at some point.
"I'm so glad you're safe and sound~" Linda cooed. "Now we can finally be grandparents, Elijah!" She held her husband's arm. "Mooommmmm!" Wanda moaned into her palms and Seb frowned, blushing slightly. What was up with old ladies and wanting to be grandmothers anyway? His mom also wanted MORE grandbabies. Aside from the embarrassment, the visit to Wanda's parents went well.
Then her parents found out that Seb was cooking for Wanda now because she had been eating instant noodles and chicken nuggets since forever. She had to deal with her parents scolding her about that and her mom profusely thanking Sebastian for taking care of her and how he was really the best for her daughter. Her Dad laughed and said he could sleep relieved now knowing she wasn't going to die starved. Her parents were so embarrassing!
Really!
Wanda was surprised at how… domestic this all was. She would come home from work tired and annoyed, to find that Seb had cleaned and cooked. It was nice to have a real meal instead of living off meals she bought from the grocery store or cup noodles. It always lifted her mood, especially when Seb was all dramatic and followed her around like "Your dinner is served, madame! Follow me to your best meal until now~"
Sometime around fall, Wanda got sick. She was SURE it wasn't because of Sebastian's cooking (even though he had worried and blamed himself for it) she thought she had just caught some kind of stomach flu because of the change of seasons and the cooling temperature. Still, her nausea finally settled down and the couple settled back into their happy domestic life together once again.
First it was her period, irregular as it was...And then Wanda started gaining weight.
Her coworkers noticed but Wanda ignored their comments. She was just eating more. (She was so hungry lately.) It wasn't even that much…. Right? She was still healthy! And it was just because Sebastian cooked delicious food!
But after hearing Mabel ask her if she was pregnant back in Christmas…
Wanda shuddered. She didn't want to think about that. She wasn't ready to be a mother. She would never be ready. And she was doing so well in her career, she...she didn't want to ruin everything with a pregnancy...
"Wands?" Seb tilted his head, watching her stare at the wall. They had returned home a few days ago, and Wanda had been distant since then. The blonde woman turned back at him. "Seb, I need to go to the hospital…" Seb frowned worriedly. "You are feeling sick again?" He grabbed her hand and Wanda squeezed it tightly.
"Well, I-I just want to make sure...Mabel-"
"If it's what she said, don't listen to her, Mabel is always eating sugar and she doesn't think before speaking!" Seb assured her quickly. Wanda shook her head and awkwardly rubbed her chubby stomach. "I-it's not about your niece, don't worry...but, I'll call for an appointment, um, when I have time…" She REALLY needed to make sure she wasn't preg-pregnant…
She had no idea what she would do if she was...
Seb was really worried for Wanda. They've been together for four months and she had been sick for half of that time. It was obviously something he did. He had done something and now Wanda was sick. "I'm sure everything will be fine…" He didn't want to even imagine what he'd do if Wanda was sick, or WORSE! Preg-preg-THAT. He wasn't ready for something like that.
"I'll be there for you." He said solemnly. Wanda wiped the tears threatening to fall and she smiled. "And~ I'm here too. Don't forget to get enrolled in the classes, I'll bother you endlessly." Seb had told her he STILL hadn't gotten his high school diploma, while he expertly sewing a suit he was charged with fixing. Surprisingly, he had customers who didn't live in Gravity Falls who had come from other parts of the country before and somehow learnt he was now living in Pennsylvania and had called their friends and relatives. He was a GOOD tailor after all, and back in town people travelled to get a dress or suit tailored just for them …
"I won't forget, I want to take that stupid exam once and for all…" With all these years he had been self-teaching himself science and physics, it would be too stupid if he didn't pass the test. And this time, he wasn't going to miss it. Wanda would drive him there HERSELF if they needed it.
But for now, they had to get Wanda to a hospital for a check up. With her busy work schedule, it was another couple weeks before they finally had that chance. And in that time, Wanda's stomach had grown even more. Still no sign of her period as well. "I have a tumor." She said faintly. That was the only explanation.
"You don't have a tumor." Seb reassured as they waited for the doctor to call them. The year of 2013 had started and the hospital was full of people waiting for their turn as well. "It will be fine."
"What if I die?" "We die together, no big deal." Seb shrugged. He jumped when Wanda suddenly shouted at him. "NO! YOU CAN'T DIE!" She screamed before she started crying. Seb awkwardly patted her back. God, he didn't know what to do with these extreme mood swings...
They were finally called in and…
"You're pregnant." The doctor said plainly. He received the sobbing woman into his office and could tell she was pregnant WITHOUT the ecography. Seriously, how didn't they even SUSPECT a pregnancy? "More than that, you're several months along… I'm guessing five, but I wouldn't know for sure without more tests."
"THEN DO IT!"
They got the test. Wanda laid down as he put the gel along her stomach and the doctor showed them the images from inside her belly. There were two clearly humanoid shapes. "Ah. Three months, with twins no less. No wonder your stomach looked much bigger than normal for how far along you are."
Seb's eye twitched, staring in disbelief at the confusing black and white screen. His brain disconnected and he was staring blankly. Elevator music could be emptily playing in his head right now. Wanda's eyes widened to the size of plates. "THREE!? TWINS?! Nope, nope! It's impossible!" She shrieked. "T-those can't be real!"
"They are, ma'am, I'm sorry...though...it's kinda weird how you two didn't notice? They're twins, and the baby bump is noticeable way before single pregnancies." The doctor shrugged. That's why he'd thought she was at least 5 months along, with how big she already was.
Seb finally came back and shakily looked at the doctor. "...We were protected...couldn't have happened…" He said faintly. Nope. This really couldn't be FUCKING happening...He couldn't be a father, didn't those fetuses know what they were signing UP TO?!
Wanda was crying loudly, much to the doctor's short patience. "I-I have a IUD!"
"No, ma'am, I'm sorry, but you don't have anything…" The doctor said sympathetically. Wanda couldn't understand.
"But I just had a new one put in-" Wait. Wanda paused and then she shrieked with rage. "That BITCH! She didn't put it in!" She looked at Seb, her green eyes on fire. "I told her I was going to see you again and that STUPID BITCH didn't put me on my stupid birth control so I could get pregnant!" She remember clearly how her gynecologist had told her to just get kids already, always telling Wanda that she was getting older and she should have kids now before it was too late and she wasn't fertile anymore but FUCK what the FUCK?!
Seb stared at the screen once again, gulping a heavy lump at the small figures, he didn't want to see anything, but there they were, mocking him and moving… "You're pregnant…" He fell back to the chair, hands aching to burn into nervous flames. Wanda punched the bed she was laying in. "I'm going to SUE the FUCK out of her!"
The poor doctor just tried not to get their attention.
They went back home quietly, not talking to each other at all. He parked and Wanda immediately went to her laptop to start filling some papers to sue her former gynecologist. Seb didn't know what to do.
What had he done?! He had COMPLETELY fucked up! The first thing he wanted to avoid! And it fucking happened! "I shouldn't have children...I'm a monster…"
Seb's eye widened a bit. He was a demon. He used to be-was, whatever the fuck it was. But he WAS something, that shouldn't have kids. They were going to be born all weird like him, they were going to be like 'Him' and he didn't wish anything like that on ANYONE, even less kids that were...his own...
"Wanda…" His eye welled up with tears and flames surrounded his arms as he held back sobs. He took a finger to his mouth to bite and draw blood. And Wanda was pregnant, because of HIM, HOLY SHIT, and she was going to leave him because she didn't know who he was, because their kids were going to be like him.
No, no, no, no! Help, help, make this be a dream! Please! He didn't want to be a dad, he couldn't, he... didn't deserve it...
He opened his eye, panting, and looked down at his aching wrists and his nails dug into his old wounds. Fuck, seriously? He-He didn't mean to do that...He rubbed his wrists awkwardly and quickly went to the kitchen to clean his blood with some paper towels. He wrapped it around his wrists and lowered his sleeves (thanks Ax for long sleeved shirts), and went to search for Wanda. Maybe...it didn't have to be that bad…? He-He loved his niblings and-and his brothers were so happy with their kids…
But they weren't demons before, they were normal, not him, he used to be a monster. A monster having kids…? He was horrible...he didn't deserve little kids of his own, but, he...he would love them, even if he was a demon...Because whether they wanted it or not, the little bastards were coming.
"A-ah Wanda…" He entered to their bedroom, watching her furiously type down. "Are you ok?"
"Yes. I'm fine." She didn't look up. "Ah..Wha-what are we going to do…?" He tried not to sound as scared as he felt.
Wanda's shoulders tensed up and slowly looked up at him, her eyes puffy and red. "After making this bitch lose her job? I-I don't know…" She choked down a sob. She had a hand on her belly, rubbing it and shivering. "My career would be ruined! I don't have the time to raise kids while working! I… I can't… you know how important my job is to me. I won't be able to do both!" She squeezed her eyes shut. "I love you so much Seb, but I didn't want to get pregnant. It'll take AGES for me to get back to my job if I have to take a maternity leave and raise the kids! Fuck! We fucked up!"
Seb held back a sob. "I-i-it's all my fault!" He wailed. At that, Wanda looked up to scowl at him. "Yeah, sure, but it's MY fault too. We BOTH had a hand in this." Wanda sighed. "It's your fault for being so handsome, and it's my fault for being so horny…" She couldn't help but laugh a little hysterically. "Damn your wonderful dick for feeling so good."
As stressed as he was, Seb managed to flush and wiggle. "WAAAAANDAAAAA!" He whined loud in embarrassment.
Wanda chuckled humourlessly and awkwardly rubbed her belly again. "And now look at this… the doctor said this was just 3 months!" She sniffled. "How big am I going to get?! He thought I was five months along! I'm only 3 months! Oh my god I can't believe this…" She was already having trouble fitting into her pants. "I don't wanna be faatt!" She burst into tears once again. This was really too much for her. It was getting overwhelming.
"No, no please don't cry! Please, i'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The vague little excitement of having kids of his own was vanished when he saw his girlfriend cry. He didn't meant to hurt her like this! And he was still so worried about all this! His powers! His past!
"Wanda, Wanda, I'm sorry!" He didn't want to do something wrong, he didn't want to hurt his kids with his powers or with his very existence! "I have to tell you something, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shoulda told you before, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Seb was crying even more than Wanda now. Wanda frowned and looked over at him. "W-what is it?" In her head was a mantra of 'Please don't say you have a disease, please don't say you have a disease…' while Seb sniffled and bit his finger. "If I tell you… p-please don't leave me…"
"Seb. I'm pregnant with TWO of your kids, there's no fucking way you're getting rid of me." Wanda managed to scoff. Seb didn't seem to feel any better, still crying. "Please tell me you won't be angry… a-and that you won't be scare of m-me…"
"I'm not going to be scared, you're my boyfriend, stupid." She said solemnly. "And I love you, we are in this situation because I love you, but please TELL me, the suspense is gonna kill me." She REALLY needed to know now. Seb took a deep breath, wiped his tears with his sleeve, before lifting a hand and making Wanda's laptop float towards the bed. Wanda's green eyes widened and her mouth opened wide in shock. And then Seb snapped his fingers and some fire sprouted from his hand and along his arms, which he quickly waved away.
"Wha-What!? Sebastian, holy fuck! What!?"
The explanation was long, and Seb had to stop many times to blow his nose. Wanda listened carefully, trying to understand everything about...lines and shapes and tridimensional gods... And yellow triangles with bowties and top hats going to prison and gaining powers and angry Axolotls. She remembered the weird triangle man...thing from her dreams, that creepy demon thing, and well… the dreams that she and Seb had shared even when they were miles and miles apart… but she hadn't expected THIS.
She sat in quiet shock, processing everything. At some point during Sebastian's long story, they'd ordered a pizza, her cravings demanding anchovy and olives with sausages. So now Wanda took a bite of the pizza as she continued to stare forward. Finally she closed her eyes and breathed in. "Ok. So you're some kind of… alien demon thing? Or, you were, in your past life but you are also kinda a magical creature despite being human?" She looked down at her belly. "Are the kids going to be aliens too?" She asked faintly. "Will...they come out of my stomach clawing out…?"
Seb wiped the tears that were still streaming down and frowned, slightly offended. "No-No...I-I'm human, fully human…I-I think...they will be born...like...babies...do? I'm not an alien...and I'm not him..." He drew his knees to his chest. "It's pretty confusing for me, Wanda...I-I think I know who I am, because my name is Sebastian, because I'm human, because I have a family, but I find myself...doubting it, and thinking that, maybe, I'm still him, pretending to be someone else." His hand lingered over his wrists, not daring to touch them with Wanda near.
"But I do know I'm human…I'm sure of that, and-and whatever I am...inside, doesn't matter...does it?" Because he had seen how his family loved him for him, they didn't care if he WAS a Bill, he was still loved, as crazy and damaged as he was. Because Wanda still liked him, even if he got her pregnant and possibly ruined her career...
Wanda frowned a bit and stroked his cheek softly. "No, of course not. I didn't mean to call you that…I don't think you're a monster…" She sat closer to him and pulled him close for a kiss. "You are Sebastian Pines, the cute idiot whom I fell in love with…And-And my boyfriend...and the best man I've known...please don't cry~" She kissed his wet cheek. Seb sniffled.
"You don't want them, don't you…?" Seb sniffled loudly. Wanda put her hand on her belly. It was too late to think of something like that...If she had only known she wasn't protected AT ALL, she wouldn't be worrying now.
"I do want them…" She placed her hand on his. "They're our babies…" She slowly pulled out the little printed ecography the nurse offered them when they were leaving, and she grabbed it angrily. "It's just…" She sighed, resigning herself. "This is just going to change everything, Seb but...I...I guess I'll stay at home forever and...take care of them...and just be at home..." She thought it was admirable how some women became mothers and dedicated all their time to their kids, but she couldn't JUST do that, she needed to work or she was going to go insane! But if she was going to have these kids… she was going to have to leave her job, stay home and care for them...
She sniffled again and sobbed, hugging her paper towel. And now she didn't have pizza...That made her cry even more. God, she was mess.
"W-what? Stay home- but don't you have work?" Seb asked, very confused by what Wanda was saying. His girlfriend sobbed harder. "But I can't take care of the babies while I'm at work! I'll have to stay here!" Sebastian growled. "No. You don't have to leave your job! I'll take care of the kids! I d-don't even have a job that needs me to be out and about, I can stay home and take care of them… and still do my work! You don't have to leave your job because of me and the kids!"
Wanda wiped her tears with her arm. "Weally? But-But...I would be giving you all the work...and-and...isn't the-the mom supposed to take care of babies?"
"It's not, really. I want to do it...Taking care of the twins was heart attack inducing but...fun, I like it, and you love your job, and you are so amazing at it, and I want you to continue doing it...When you get home, you'll see them and it will be ok and you will be the best mom ever!" Seb smiled, looking at the photo she was holding. His excitement was coming back. Wanda didn't care about her powers, she wasn't scared of him, and whatever happened, they were going to be together to face it.
And he was having twins! Hah! In Stan's face! He only got one! What a loser!
That seemed to make Wanda feel better. The two cuddled on the couch for the rest of the day, chatting about whether they thought the babies would be boys or girls, what names they should give them, how Wanda could open a face chat on her computer at work to check on him and the kids once they were born and she was recovered enough to go back to work…
It… didn't seem as scary anymore, knowing that Seb was going to be taking care of the kids. Wanda was terrible with kids, but Sebastian had his niece and nephews and he was great with her cousins back when they were teenagers. Wanda leaned against Seb's chest as one of his hands stroked her round stomach. "You're going to be a wonderful mother Wands!" Sebastian assured her. Wanda laughed. "And you're going to be the best father…"
-.-
So, of course they couldn't keep it a secret, they had to tell their parents... They visited Wanda's parents a nice winter day where Wanda's stepbrother and girlfriend were coincidentally visiting too, (you could guess Linda judged those girls hard, none good enough for her son, Seb had set the bar too high) and spilled the beans, straight to the point.
"Mom, Dad, I'm pregnant…"
Wanda had to facepalm when her parents cheered and immedietly turned to Seb with a "YES! Good job, son!"
"Seriously?" Wanda complained. "I'm literally the one with two babies inside me right now?" And frankly, SHE had done most of the work! Seb was still rather shy during their... bedroom activities. She ended up doing most of the work everytime, not that she didn't LOVE doing so, but STILL!
"WHAT?!" Elijah gasped. "TWINS?!" Wanda's brother gaped as Linda screamed her heart out. "OH MY GOD, THANK YOU!" Linda cried to the skies before hugging Seb tightly, stroking his bicolor curly hair. Seb looked mortified and tried to bury his face in his hands when Elijah slapped him on the back and said, "Very impressive, son!"
Wanda crossed her arms, slightly annoyed, when her mom tutted. "My dear, HOW couldn't you have realized you were pregnant?! It's maternal instincts! Every woman has it!"
"Yeah, well, I was SUPPOSED to be on birth control…" Wanda muttered. Linda shook her head. "Well, I expect you to be at home resting from now on! You have to take care of the little babies you are having!" Wanda rolled her eyes. Staying? To go insane all cooped up? No thanks. But she nodded anyway to please her mom. She was going to continue going to work until she had to give birth, no way was she going to just sit and do nothing for months.
Telling Seb's family was...different. They went to visit Stan and Kari to tell them the happy news. Kari totally ignored Seb to coo and pamper Wanda. "Oh my God! Really?! My sweet daughter! Come here! I love you!" Seb complained he was part of it too, but his mom shushed him and asked Wanda for permission to touch her belly. The younger woman froze, but agreed. It really made her mother in law, happy.
Stan gaped for a second, looking in disbelief, before he shouted. "HAHAH! FORD OWES ME 50 BUCKS!" He high-fived Carla. Dillon was really excited at the idea of getting a new cousin from his favorite uncle and congratulated both of them before writing Mabel and Dipper about the news. It didn't take long before Shermie called, laughing at his older brother uproariously while Mabel was sobbing with joy at the idea of getting more cousins. She needed to start knitting NOW! Uncle Seb knew how to knit but all the knitted stuff had to come from her! Mabel! Dipper could be heard running around. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Uncle Seb's having kids! Poor kids!"
"Hey! Pinetree, I'll let you know you survived your summer because of ME!" Seb shouted at the phone.
Shermie wheezed. "WELCOME TO HELL! YOU'LL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN! You'll be enslaved to two ungrateful brats for 18 years!"
"DAD!" "RUDE!" "NOW YOU HAVE TO BUY US ICE CREAM AS AN APOLOGY!" "And take us to see Uncle Seb and Aunt Wanda to meet their babies!" Shermie sighed. "You see what I mean? But I'm so happy for you two!"
Wanda and Seb looked at each other. Getting scared like that didn't help at all with their situation.
Seb finally called Ford and Soos, who somehow didn't get the news. Everyone in town somehow knew (Mabel. That had been definitely Mabel) Soos and Melody got pretty excited for him and Soos declared himself the babies' coolest dude uncle (? Soos was so mysterious sometimes) and then Seb talked to his oldest brother.
Ford was actually talking from inside the center, it was his time to supervise, Fiddles would do it some other days, but right now, Fiddleford was spending some much needed time with his son, and Ford respected that. With a construction helmet on, he held his phone to his ear as he watched the tiles, windows and services like plumbing and electricity being installed. Just a few more months and and his dream was coming true~
"Sixer, guess what?!" Seb screamed excitedly. Wanda had gone back to work and he was imagining her co-workers screaming and cooing at her. Wanda had said many people had asked her when she was settling down and having kids, and were glad she was FINALLY doing what EVERY woman must do...It was pretty dumb. Seb had to wince in sympathy. No one had really urged him about getting a girlfriend, except for Mabel, of course. Wanda was mainly angry that everyone expected her to just… have kids and leave work, like that was NORMAL, but she wasn't going to do that. She worked HARD to earn her law degree and become a lawyer and babies or no, she was going to continue being a lawyer!
"What is it, Sebastian?" Ford asked, waving a hand to direct the builders to where the bathrooms should be built. He could hear Seb squealing on the other end of the phone. "I'm gonna be a father!" That made Ford nearly drop his phone. WHAT?! "You- great, now I owe Stan $50!" He complained.
Seb waited for the praise, but he could only hear noises on the other side. "Um! Eh hem! I said I'm going to have kiidddsss!" He repeated louder. Ford nodded. "Yes, I heard, congratulations, I'm glad you feel prepared now." The last time he talked to Seb about this, he was really scared of the idea (he would be too, holy shit! He liked being an uncle much better!), it was nice to hear him happy.
"They're twins! We don't know their sex yet, but we don't want stuff to be color coded, ya know? Cuz that's just stupid. So send whatever presents you want!"
"I have to send presents?" Ford scratched his head, pretty confused. "Duuhhh!" Was his brother's intelligent reply. "You get presents for the future babies! Mabel says she'll plan a baby shower, if you don't know, that's when you get together and receive all the presents and have fun before the baby arrives! And-And then, you say thank you to everyone who came and play music and it is just...nice…" The idea of a party was very thrilling, even if it was for the babies, and with each passing day, both him and Wanda were getting excited with babies' arrival.
He. Was. Going. To. Be a. Fucking. DAD!
The scientist chuckled when he heard Seb squee again. "Alright then. I shall go see what presents I can get. Any prompts?" He asked. Seb giggled hysterically. "Baby clothes! And toys! And… and tiny baby shoes!" Seb had gotten obsessed with looking at tiny baby booties. They were too cute!
Ford's smile slowly faded. "Sebastian, will your children inherit your powers?" Was that even possible? How would such a thing happen? How did Sebastian even have his powers at all if Bill Cipher was dead? And how did he get them originally even when he was born human?
Seb hummed with a pout. "I mean, I...considered it...But, if you think about it...they-they really SHOULDN'T! Because...I wasn't BORN with my powers…" But, on the other hand, he had a seal, if he hadn't...he could have been born with all his powers…
"Ford, I'm scared. What if they HAVE my powers! Do you know how long it took me to learn to control them?! What if they do something?! What if they hurt Wanda or themselves?!" Seb was hyperventilating.
Ford sighed. "Well, if they DO have your powers, your job as a parent is to make sure they learn to control them. And…" he grimaced. Accidentally hurting themselves or those around then would always be a dear. "Well, I can make a unicorn barrier to shut off their powers? Or does that not work?"
"Dude, I could cross the barrier just fine! I'm human! One that just happen to have really dangerous abilities that will be passed on to two KIDS! WHO WILL BE LIKE ME!" Seb shrieked.
"I don't mean a barrier around your house, I meant like a bracelet that seals off magic. There must be something like that? I will have to check my notes." Ford could be heard shuffling around on his side of the phone. His blue journal from William was still intact. Ford couldn't help a small wave of fondness and warmth at the thought of the nice Bill Cipher he and Stan met. Well...second nice Bill Cipher. Sebastian was a nice one too, in a second life, sure, but he was a good person.
Ford's blue journal had survived the 13 years behind the portal and it even survived Weirdmageddon and the evil Bill's attempts to destroy it. And the best part? The evil Bill couldn't see inside this journal. Ford flipped through the journal and tried to see if he had written anything down about sealing magic.
While Ford daydreamt, Seb was breathing heavily, trying to calm himself a bit. "O-Ok, yes, I-think bracelets could work...Please try. I don't want them to hurt themselves...or anyone." He had been hiding his powers for years until he knew it was safe to use them in town, but they were really far away from any source of weirdness, it was dangerous for them to show any supernatural ability.
The government might have forgotten about them, but two kids on fire were surely going to draw attention. He already fucked up their lives and they haven't even existed for more than 4 months…
"Seb?" Ford called softly after the blond went quiet. "Y-Yeah?" "I can't believe I'm saying this, but...don't listen to your head…" The scientist instructed him. He bit his lip. "You're a great uncle, and I'm sure you're going to be great father...with a demon past or not."
Seb wasn't sure about that...He wanted to believe everything would be fine, that he'd be happy and his family would be happy forever...But he couldn't believe it, despite how hard he tried. He literally couldn't picture himself doing something WELL, because how could he?! He was dumb, and careless, and a freak and monster that always fucked things up...
"Thanks, Sixer…" He finally said, instead of all the messy feelings and words he really wanted to let out.
-.-
"Waaah!" Wanda moaned as she kicked the door close. Oof! Today was a CRAZY day! She threw her things to the couch and called "Seb, we're back!". She just couldn't say 'I' anymore, could she? Not with these little guys pushing her stomach out like a balloon.
"In the storage room!" The storage room was a room Wanda had kept full of junk and boxes. She always worked in her room or the living room so she didn't have a real use for the extra room. When Seb moved here, he asked if he could use the room for his work, used to having an office just like it back in the Shack. His equipment had been shipped from Gravity Falls, so good for Ford! Now they had another free room in the Shack to use!
The blonde put a hand over her growing belly. "Let's go see dad, shall we?" She whispered. It was still pretty weird to talk to...her babies. Wow. She was going to be a mom, holy shit. She never, ever would have thought she would be one. Seb was in the storage room, shaking hands with a man. "Um, hi..." The lawyer waved at the unfamiliar man.
"Wanda!" Seb smiled and walked over to her to plant a soft kiss on her lips. "This is Francis, I'm making a suit for him, he has a friend's wedding, right?" He looked at his customer and didn't really wait for a response. "This is Wanda! She's my girlfriend!" The man politely smiled, shook hands with Wanda and bid his farewells. "See you next week." The man said before leaving.
"Urgh! Finally someone asked me to make a suit! People just want dresses!" The man complained as Wanda rolled her eyes. "Who wouldn't want a dress from you~? It's your fault for making them so pretty!"
Seb laughed sheepishly. "Haha, yeah…" He crouched and awkwardly in front of Wanda's belly, as if fearing to touch it, (which he was), he put his hand over his girlfriend's swollen and growing belly. "Hii~ You went to work with moomm~ Was it boring? I bet it was boring~" Seb slowly put his ear on her stomach and with a frown, he nodded slowly. "Uh huh...ok, I get it…" He looked up at Wanda, who was staring at him, funnily. "The babies say your work is boring and should give me a kiss~"
Wanda laughed loudly. "They said that now did they~?" She leaned down to plant a kiss on Sebastian's forehead, the couple giggling together. A kiss turned into a hug, which turned into some gentle caressing and the two ended up on the couch in the living room, kissing and feeling each other up passionately. Wanda broke away from Seb's lips and gasped for air. "Damn, no wonder we're having kids. We just can't keep our hands off each other!"
Seb laughed. "W-well…" His shirt was rumpled, the first few buttons undone and his chest exposed. Wanda took this time to admire his pecs. "A-ah…" Seb blushed when Wanda began slowly walking her fingers down his chest with a mischievous look, clearly aiming to unbutton more of his shirt. As fun as that would be, Seb was a little afraid to go any farther with Wanda while she was carrying such precious life inside her (he might mess up and hurt her, hurt them! He was clumsy and stupid and so, so much of a walking disaster-) so he straightened up with a cough.
"So, how was work?" He changed the subject, taking Wanda's hands in his own as he moved to sit beside her instead of bent over her. Wanda frowned a little at the fact that Seb wanted to stop but sighed and rubbed her belly. "Well, my friends at work showered me in gifts. And my male co-workers kept calling you a lucky bastard for actually "landing" me… I think they're just upset that I turned all of them down multiple times and then went and started dating you out of nowhere..." She rolled her eyes at that. But maybe now that she was dating someone AND pregnant with that someone's children, her male co-workers would stop hitting on her. She paused when she saw Seb's expression shift. "Does it bother you that the guys at work liked me?"
"N-no that's not it." Sebastian assured her. He rubbed his face. "It's nice that you have friends. If I had friends, I'm sure they'd get me some gifts too." His brothers were family and didn't count as 'friends'. Soos was his friend but Soos was like a younger brother or cousin, he was FAMILY too. Did he have anyone else? Susan? Nah, she just had a crush on him. Glasses wasn't HIS friend, he was FORD'S friend. The only "friends" he could think were the Henchmaniacs and the poor bastards were rotting back in his old Nightmare Realm… Haha….yeah…he didn't have what one would call...a friend.
Wanda tilted her head to see more of Seb's expression behind his hand. "I'm sure you've got plenty of friends, Seb." He shook his head. "You surely do! You're the sweetest guy I know!" She blinked as she suddenly realized. "What about Alex and Johnny?" Seb lifted his face from his hand. A-Alex and… whoa, Sebastian hadn't thought about those two crazy maniacs in YEARS! Decades! Wanda groaned. "Oh my gosh, I should have told them you were alive! I totally forgot…"
"You, you still talk to them?" Seb asked surprised. Besides those few times Wanda visited when they were teens, Alex and Johnny hadn't really spent much time with her. The blonde shrugged. "Well, after scaring us to death-" "I'm sorry-" "We kinda, like, got super close, you know Alex was gonna be a lawyer, and he's a DAMN good one! Kinda crazy at court, he likes to be dramatic, many judges can't stand him, but he's cool. You know, remember how...uh, they were dating?"
Seb nodded. "Don't tell me they broke up!" He exclaimed with a loud gasp. Wanda nodded. "For YEARS. Like, I'm not sure what happened actually, but they broke up, Alex met a girl, they had a son but soon broke up too, they're cool though, and he's a GREAT dad. He looked for Johnny once again because they're soulmates and can't live without each other~" Wanda squeezed his hand with a smile. "They're together again and living in New York. Do you want to call them?!" She asked excitedly.
Seb nodded slowly. Wow...After all these years… Wanda mentioned that she should have called them. They were still worried about him and wanting news from him? Even after the problems he caused them? That...he didn't expect that...even less to see his old... friends after so long… "I-I'd like that…"
Wanda smirked and pulled up her phone to call the couple. She put it on hands free mode and waited for Alex to pick up.
"WHAT?! I'M BUSY!" An annoyed voice called from the other side.
"Hey! That's no way to treat a friend~Bad Alex!" Wanda huffed. Alex stopped mid insult and gasped. "Wanda!" He let out a surprised sound. "I haven't heard from you in months! How've you been?"
"Oh, not much, doing well in my job, getting clients, got pregnant…" Wanda said nonchalantly.
"You always do you jo-Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. PREGNANT?!" Alex choked. "JONATHAN!" He screamed, making Wanda and Seb laugh.
Johnny came running into the room Alex was in. "What is it?! What happened?!"
"WANDA IS PREGNANT!"
"WHAT?! That's impossible! She would never! That would never happen!" Johnny screamed in utter disbelief. Wanda looked at Seb and huffed. "Whatcha mean that would never happen?" She complained quietly. The two men took a deep breath to calm themselves. "Well...you're you…" "Though you ARE a pervert so in retrospective it's not that unexpected…" Alex hummed in thought.
"HOLY SHIT YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Johnny screamed again, but he sounded more excited this time. "Oh my gosh! Congrats! Who's the father?! Do we know him?!" Johnny asked. "Or you don't? Or you DO and you need us to cut some irresponsible balls off?" Alex added. Seb smiled. Alex and Johnny really cared for Wanda, he was so glad for that.
"If you want to meet him, you'd have to visit me~" Wanda teased. "Evil woman, but fair." Alex nodded. "We'll be there next weekend!" The two sounded SO excited about it.
Seb leaned in and whispered to Wanda, giggling like a little kid. "Tell them I want to see them already!"
"Well, mysterious boyfriend says he is looking forward to seeing you, guys!" Wanda smiled and Alex and Johnny gasped. "Really?! Well, we want to meet him too! We must judge him and approve of him!" Alex exclaimed and Johnny scoffed. "She already got herself knocked up, so instead we will FORCE him to be good and acceptable."
"Aaaww! Thank you, guys! Don't worry, he's the best...Well, we have to eat dinner! See ya!" Wanda exclaimed. The couple on the other side said their farewells as well. Before Wanda could hang up though, they heard Alex and Johnny talking to themselves. "You know, I never thought she would get over him…" Johnny said sadly. "Yeah, me neither, but at least she found someone she loves, no? Even if it's not Sebastian." "I'm glad she finally let g-Alex, the phone!"
Then they hung up.
Seb blinked before looking at Wanda who was pouting. Dummies. They should know by now that she wasn't going to give up waiting for Seb to return...And he DID! So TAKE THAT!
"Why didn't you marry and move on with your life with someone else?" Seb asked the green eyed woman, softly. "It's not like you didn't have options...you said many guys at work like you…"
Wanda sighed. She reached up to place her hands on Sebastian's cheeks. "Because I already had my heart set on someone." She gazed into his eye. "And I refused to believe in a world where you were gone. I love you, Sebastian Pines, and even if I had to wait 20 years, it would all have been worth it to be with you again."
Sebastian's eye went wide even as he started tearing up. "B-but what's even so great about me? Why do you love me?" He just couldn't understand. Wanda was beautiful and smart and popular and she could have any guy she wanted, but she wanted him. A broken, mess of a person. Why?
"Because I care about you. You… you've been through so much, and you have every right to be angry and bitter at the world, but you aren't. You're sweet and kind and you keep wanting to do good for people." Wanda hugged him. "You're also way too handsome for your own good." She joked before sobering. "I did try seeing other men, but it never felt right. I was never as comfortable around them as I was with you."
The couple held each other as Seb tried to process this. Somehow, Wanda just… liked him enough to wait for him. He still couldn't understand. But he was so happy she was here, that she had waited for him.
"I also tried to get with someone else, but it never felt right either." Sebastian admitted. Wanda laughed lightly. "Oh? Was she pretty?" She jokingly asked. Seb giggled. "Oh, he was pretty handsome…"
The two laughed, comfortable in each other's company and brainstorming ways to terrify their friends when they got here.
-.-
"I really can't believe our little Wanda is pregnant~" Johnny whispered to Alex excitedly. Alex grumbled as he paid the taxi driver. "I can't believe she made us come all the way here!" He was just as excited as Johnny though. Wanda was like a sister, emotionally joined by worry and grief, they cared for each other, just like Seb would have wanted them to.
"Ok, remember not to threaten her boyfriend or scare him away." Johnny scolded his boyfriend. "Like you did to Elize's first boyfriend…" "Dude, don't you remember how he treated my baby boy? I wasn't going to let that bastard get away with that! And now we both have great men~" Alex wrapped an arm around Johnny and pressed the doorbell.
Wanda and Seb were watching a movie, eating some snacks (Wanda ate all of them, actually) and she gasped softly. "They're here! Dammit!" She looked at her clothes, or lack of a certain support garment. "Seb! Open the door! Gotta change~ Go! Just bother them a bit!" She pushed the man and he stumbled towards the door. "But-but-"
The blonde was gone before Seb could finish his protest so he just sighed and walked towards the door, but not before grabbing the blanket they'd been using and wrapping it around his head to partially cover his eyepatch. Didn't want to give the game away too quickly.
Seb flung the door open dramatically. "Hello! Fellow humans! Human fellows! It is I! Your female friend's mating partner." He made his voice a bit deeper too. Alex and Johnny stared. "Um…"
Seb did a little dance, making jazz-hand motions. "Let us all partake in human activities such as eating more food than our body has room for and complaining about stuff!" He moved aside to let them in. The two men entered, really confused. Johnny couldn't help but notice the house was clean, for once.
"Uh...Are you Wanda's boyfriend…?" Alex asked, really confused. Seriously? This man was...crazy, and weird. What happened to Friedmann's standards?
"Ah yes, of course, for what other motive would I be here, living in the same household, how you say, breathing the same air and introducing myself to you, the dear friends she is presenting our offspring to!"
"Are-Are you a robot?" Alex asked faintly and Seb let out a deep voiced "Ah ha hah! You have a great sense of humor. I was told that is a good trait humans can have!" He was purposely making his voice sound as similar as Ford's, trying to imagine the nerd saying such silly things.
"Do your bodies need to hydrate? Can I offer you a drink?" Seb asked with a big smile. "Nah, I wouldn't want you short circuiting, mate." Alex said. "What's with the blanket anywhere? Hiding something?" Johnny asked. "And where's Wanda?" The man's creepy smile was actually making him really nervous. He hugged Alex's arm and pursed his lips.
"She is dressing herself! Because humans get really upset by women showing skin for some reason." Seb said cheerfully. Johnny stared. "You say that like you aren't human…" He shuffled a little farther away from Seb in worry. Seb's grin widened even more. "Would you like some refreshment?"
"Um...No...We...just want to see if Wanda is o-"
"Oh! Hi guys! You already met my baby!" Alex and Johnny turned to look at Wanda in relief. Saved! "I'm so glad you are getting along~" Wanda walked towards them, slowly, because walking around carrying two kids was hard, even if they were still relatively small, and took Seb's arm. "Isn't he amazing~!" The two blinked slowly. "Y-yeah… he's… nice…" Alex tried to be polite. The fact that Wanda's boyfriend hadn't blinked this whole time was starting to get him really uncomfortable.
Wanda glanced over at Seb and laughed. "Oh darling, I think you've teased them enough by now." She pulled off the blanket and held his face in her hands. "Bless these gay dudes with your handsomeness~" Seb laughed loudly, a normal laugh this time with his normal voice. "Ok, ok, but I like making people weirded out!"
Now that he didn't have the blanket on his face, Alex and Johnny could see that yes, he was human, he didn't have metal on his face like suspected. He had curly brown hair, a part of it dyed blond and...he was wearing an eyepatch.
They didn't know if it was more creepy or not.
"Hi guys...Um, I know you do remember me, at least I think so? Maybe not how much I looked like, though, but um, it's me, Sebastian…?" Seb ran a hand through his hair sheepishly. Alex and Johnny blinked slowly. Ok...So, two things… Wanda seriously found a man also named Sebastian, also missing an eye...and got pregnant from this man who was willing to act like Seb...or he was...he was HIM. Their old roommate Sebastian was actually alive...
Alex looked this man up and down more carefully. He was smiling, so he could see his sharp teeth/fangs, which he remembered pretty well. "S-Seb…" He reached out to poke him, to make sure he was real. Seb laughed. "Yeah, hi guys. I'm alive… and stuff…"
Alex gaped as Johnny's hands flew to his mouth. "Holy shit…" The freckled man whispered. Alex frowned and started stuttering, something really unusual for him. "B-But! Wha-How?! You-you were! But we never! Where WERE YOU?!" He finally managed to scream. Johnny was hyperventilating in the background. How was he ALIVE! What was going on?!
Seb pursed his lips a little bit. "Truthfully, I don't… actually remember most of it. I… only came back to my senses like… a few years after I disappeared. And… ah… I was… kinda in prison… don't remember how I got there… kinda drank myself crazy drunk and stayed drunk for a few years straight. When I got arrested, I couldn't get any alcohol and finally came back to myself."
Alex shook his head, he wasn't feeling sorry anymore! He was FURIOUS! "Are you kidding me, dude?! Don't you know what kind of MASSIVE HEART ATTACK we all had when you disappeared?! You were stupid! You ARE stupid! And-And-" He turned to look at Wanda, who stopped giggling to look more serious. "And YOU! You were involved in all this!? You knew he was ok?!"
Wanda had the decency to look guilty. "Yeah? Kinda? I only found out recently myself. Since...last summer…?" She smiled sheepishly.
Alex deadpanned. "I'm outta here." He mumbled in annoyance and walked towards the door. Wanda laughed. "Alexander~ Come on, don't be a baby~!"
Johnny finally managed to react again and exclaimed. "You two are idiots!" Before pulling Seb into a hug. Alex watched him in disbelief. "But, Jesus, I'm so glad to see you again…" He closed his eyes. Seb froze for a second before before hugging his old friend back. "Me too...I'm sorry…"
Alex took a deep breath and stomped back to the group. He pulled Johnny away from Seb to get a hug too. "I'm still upset...but you're my friend and I was worried for you...And now you're giving me a niece or nephew so I'm happy."
"It's actually nieces or nephews...Um, they're twins." Seb corrected laughing. "Holy shit...Good job..." Alex whispered. He glanced down at Wanda's belly. "Wait, so you only met up again last summer? And you're already-" Wanda groaned. "I know! Okay! We… were making up for lost time…" Seb was blushing heavily as his guy friends snorted and elbowed him. "You two are hilarious!" Seb blushed even more. Idiots.
"Ignoring all that, can we get our hug too or…?" Wanda pouted a bit, opening her arms and staring the men down. They laughed and went to hug her too, being careful of her stomach.
The four finally settled down on the couch, now that the initial shock was over, and Johnny showed them the present they bought. "It's a giraffe, I guess they can share it?" Seb took the stuffed toy from them. "Forget the twins, this adorable shit is mine now!" Wanda allowed their friends to touch her belly and Alex's eyes were tearing up. He remembered when his son was born too. It was amazing, he was so happy for the two of them.
"So you don't know what sex they are?" He asked and Wanda and seb shook their heads. "Nope, the doctor said to give it another month or so." "Do you want them to be girls or boys?" Johnny asked with a funny smile. "Well, I don't mind either...but knowing Seb, I'd prefer if they were girls." Wanda said teasingly as she looked at Sebastian. Seb scoffed. "Well, I always thought that...I'd have a boy and a girl, like my niblings, but the twins are identical so that can't really happen…" He pouted a bit.
Wanda giggled. "Well, we'll love them regardless of what they are." She rubbed her belly fondly. It was still a little scary, knowing she was carrying life inside her belly, but… it also felt… kind of nice. Was this that 'maternal' instinct that she was supposed to gain? Sebastian was still cuddling the giraffe. "Should I name you Markimoo or Shamandra?" He asked the giraffe. Wanda rolled her eyes. "Speaking of names, what should we name the kids?"
Seb looked over. "Ah…No idea…" He scratched his head. "...You're Wanda, so Wanda junior." Wanda stared at him, unimpressed. "And if they're BOTH girls?" Johnny raised an eyebrow. "Well, Wanda Jr. One and Wanda Jr. Two!" Seb grinned. Alex facepalmed. "Junior is used for MALE babies!"
"I don't care! I do what I want!" Seb raised a fist. Wanda patted Alex's shoulder. "He's not naming them that, don't worry." Seb groaned a bit. Naming humans was hard! " I guess I should go by what Pines do to name kids? You use your middle name's initial letter…" Wanda shook her head. "But I don't want to give them a W name! The only good one is William or Wanda and that's it!" Wanda complained.
Sebastian continue to brainstorm. "Tehatime… Francislame… Aprigail… Wallapalooza…" Wanda smacked his arm lightly. "No. We're not naming them something like that." Sebastian grinned. "Olivirath? Wallaby? Wisconsin?" Wait, Wanda didn't want a 'W' name so… "Yamimash? Recordinator? Grendinator? Zoelidash?"
"I'm sorry for your kids, Wanda." Johnny sighed. Wanda frowned a bit. "What did you say?"
"Grendinator?" Seb asked. Hey, it WAS a real name! It was Grenda's last name!
"No! The last name...Zoelidash...Zoe, that's a cute name, I like it." Wanda smiled. Seb stopped to think about it. "Um...yeah...you're right…"
"And what if the kids are boys?" Johnny asked. The couple shrugged. "Then… Zebra!" Seb declared. Wanda smacked his arm again. "You don't get to name the kids!" She complained. Seb whined as the guys laughed. It was nice, the four of them being together again.
The four friends ordered a pizza and hung out for the rest of the day, chatting and catching up. Alex asked Sebastian a good several hundred questions about what he'd been up to and Seb gladly answered them the best he could. He made dresses and suits now? Sure! 13 years of experience! He took care of his niblings in the summer? Sure! They went fishing and played board games...but he didn't have to go on FULL detail...Wanda knew, he had told her everything, and she was smiling knowingly.
"Well...if you're so good now, I guess you'll have to make us a cool suit for our wedding~" Alex poked Seb's shoulder, making Johnny blush slightly. The blond laughed and pulled them closer for a hug. "I'd love to!"
-.-
"I can't believe she's late for her own check up! Those are her babies!" Wanda's mom complained impatiently. They were supposed to know the twins' sex today, they had turned 5 months...and Wanda said she needed to do something at work first...She wasn't exactly late, but her mom had wanted her to come with them. Linda groaned at the wait. She wanted to know her grandbabies' sex NOW!
Kari, who HAD to come to see her future grandbabies, shared a look with Elijah. She sent him a pitiful look. Oh, what a brave man...
Seb patted his in law's shoulder. Wanda was close, she just texted him that she was on her way. "Don't worry, Linda, she's coming already, and she wasn't even called yet." He smiled comfortably. Linda pinched his cheek and smiled lovingly. "You're right, sweetheart, what would my daughter do without you?"
Elijah rolled his eyes. Great. His son in law stole his wife. Barely five minutes later, Wanda appeared and waved at everyone, panting and heaving her huge belly around (at 5 months with twins, she looked more like an 8 month with one). "I'm here! Sorry! Work's crazy! Unfinished papers and signing stuff..."
Elijah smiled at his daughter and Linda shook her head in disapproval. "It's alright, swee-" Elijah was interrupted by his wife, "Finally! I thought you didn't care enough, Wanda…" Linda scolded. Elijah winced and patted his wife's shoulder.
Before the blond could reply, the nurse called them and said it was their turn. Wanda huffed and Seb wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Shh, it's ok, she's just impatient, let's go see the kids…" He held her arm to help her walk. The babies still had a long way to go, and Wanda's stomach was going to get even bigger. Wanda was a little afraid, she was having trouble moving around, or bending over, or breathing sometimes...
Kari cooed at her son. It warmed her heart to see him so happy, and seeing him act like a gentleman and...paternal was something she never thought she would see.
The doctor was the same man who told them the happy news months ago. He gave them a smile and greeted the couple's parents. It was nice to see them happier now, he still remembered Wanda's angry screaming and Sebastian rocking back and forth. Oh, he also knew Wanda's former gynecologist was fired and lost her license. The power of a good angry lawyer.
He motioned Wanda to lie down on the bed and repeated the known process. After long minutes of suspense, he gave them happier news one more time. "You have two healthy girls." He smiled.
Kari screamed. "YEEEEESSSSS!" Finally! More girls! She had four sons and only Mabel as a granddaughter, but now she was getting two more! YEEEEEESSSSS! "Ma!" Seb laughed as she shrieked. Linda hugged Wanda, much to her surprise. "Aaw! Baby! I'm so happy for you two! I can buy them lots of cute dresses and ribbons~! Like you wore as a baby~ Remember how CUTE you dressed when you were little?"
"Well, they can dress however they want..." Wanda mumbled. She personally hated those frilly dresses growing up. She would give her daughters dresses and see how they felt about it. If they wanted pants instead, she wasn't going to make them have to go through lacey hell just for aesthetics.
They told the news to the rest of their family. Mabel had screamed for hours, claiming how they were going to be best friends and they could wear her old clothes and sweaters when they were older, while Dipper and Dillon pouted. They didn't want more crazy Mabels in their lives! Stan was simply super happy for Seb and Ford hummed when he was told, he REALLY had the suspicion Seb would have a boy and a girl… but if the twins were identical, they'd both be the same sex.
"I just hope they aren't as nerdy as you~" Seb teased. "Mom says she loves me more than all of you! How do you feel about that?" He asked with a smug tone that made Ford roll his eyes. He wasn't going to fight…He was busy with his OWN baby, the research center was almost done and he just couldn't wait to inaugurate it!
"I'm glad mom loves you." Ford finally said. Seb giggled excitedly. "I'm gonna make ALL the cute baby clothes for them!" He heard Wanda calling from the other room, "DON'T MAKE DRESSES!" Sebastian scoffed. ALL the dresses! Just to bother Wanda!
-.-
They spent an entire month planning what to buy. They still had a lot of time until the twins came in July, but they already wanted to get some stuff and...feel the babies' presence more. With Wanda's parents, they chose a crib and some clothes. Linda wanted to buy EVERYTHING already, but for Wanda, getting everything in a rush was just pointless.
That led to a bit of arguing and two awkward men standing behind and watching. Linda and Wanda argued a lot since learning the babies' sex. Especially when it came to Wanda 'taking a break' and leaving work to rest. Wanda refused. Whether it was stubbornness or pride, she didn't know, but even when walking caused her to be short of breath, or how she couldn't actually reach her keyboard with her belly pressing against her desk, Wanda refused to let that stop her. Her belly was still growing larger. Part of her was amazed she hadn't popped yet, a little fearful of just how much her skin could stretch.
"You're going to damage your kids!" Linda had cried. "You're stressing yourself too much and that will affect the babies! Do you want to kill the girls!?"
"N-No!" Wanda whimpered. "Then do SOMETHING about it! Why do you need to work anyway, Wanda? You're with Sebastian already! And you are surely going to get married after the babies are born! You need to be a good mother and take care of them!"
"I-I can do both! I'm not going to leave my job! I love my job and you can't do anything about it!" Wanda snapped, tears in her eyes.
Linda was on the verge of crying too. She only wanted the best for her daughter, but her views were totally different from hers. "Wanda, you are too stubborn for your own good! You're going to hurt yourself and your daughters! You're irresponsible! God help us with keeping my grandbabies safe from your stupidity!"
"Get out of my house! NOW!" The green- eyed woman sobbed and immediately went to hug Seb. Of course, both him and Elijah were shocked. Seb sent a slight glare at Linda before giving Elijah a pleading look. At the end, he managed to steer his crying wife to the door.
Wanda sobbed his into Seb's chest. "I-I'm not trying to kill the babies!" "I know, please don't cry, please." Seb felt so useless, he would carry the babies himself if he could, he didn't want to see Wanda suffering. He was sorry, he didn't mean to hurt her or make her be in pain...
"I'm sorry…"
-.-
Wanda rubbed her big, tender stomach with a pout. It was getting too big already. She didn't like it and, oh god, the stretch marks from this would be awful! She groaned. And she just… felt so fat, all the time. At the very least, Sebastian still assured her that she was just as beautiful, and always worked to pamper her when she was tired or feeling unwell. Still, Wanda had to deal with some co-workers calling her a whale, even other women. She liked to believe it was jokingly, or else she had a lot of people to hate and block from her life!
Wanda commented about this to Seb one day while having dinner, just, how it sometimes hurt her when they said that...she didn't mean to cry, but her hormones were a mess and she ended up tearing up and softly whimpering. She didn't want to worry him, but she trusted Seb with everything.
But then she learned how she SHOULDN'T tell Seb everything. The next day she saw him about to beat the shit out of a man at work and she thanked God she got there in time to stop him.
"He deserves it!" Seb growled, hands aching to BURN the stupid man's face. How DARE He?! "Yeah, but I need you out of prison!" Wanda held his arm and scolded. "Just let him go!" She glared at the fearful man hiding behind a wall. "Next time I won't stop him! Stop bothering me, Jeffrey! Go cry over your ex wife!"
Seb gaped. Forget burning him. Wanda just freaking murdered him…
Ah~ He was so in love, dammit...
-.-
The month was half way through. Wanda was eating a box of chocolates Seb brought her. Mm~ She hadn't eaten them in ages~! She really wanted to have names for the girls to stop calling them the babies or the twins. Make it more personal so she could feel a bit more connection with them and feel less anger at her pregnancy. They had decided on Zoe for now, but the 2nd name eluded them.
"So...Stanley's middle name is Daniel?!" Wanda snorted. What a dumb common name for someone as...unique as Stanley.
"Yup, Ma likes it though." Seb put a potato chip in his mouth. Wanda's appetite was making him feel anxious and eat more, but not real food, only junk food! He was a disgrace. He needed to stop before he got all fat and horrible and Wanda decided he wasn't handsome anymore and left him.
"And my nephew is Dillon…Just like Sherman's middle name is MARCO , HAHAHA! Sorry, I just love to tease him about that, and his kids are Mabel and Mason." Wanda hummed with a nod. That made sense, it would have been nice to give the twins names related to Seb's middle name.
"So! I came up with THIS!" Seb pulled out a sheet where he drew a bunch of letters. "We can technically give the babies a name related to mine! But in Caesar Cipher! It's a way to code your messages. So, a W in Ciphertext would be a Z! We can still use Zoe and choose another name with Z! Like Zomelina!"
Wanda grabbed a piece of chocolate and stuffed it in Seb's mouth. "I love the idea, just not that name." Seb chewed on the delicious milky substance as Wanda rubbed her belly. "You could help us a bit here, you know? I bet you don't want your dad naming you Zomelina…"
"I bet they DO!"
Wanda rolled her eyes. Zoe...What could sound remotely similar to that? Zo...lee, Zo..lly, Zully… "What about Zully?" Zoe and Zully Pines Friedmann...It...sounded nice…
Seb looked at Wanda with a thoughtful look before smiling. "I like that! Um, you won't let me name them so I'll resign myself. I think those are perfect." Wanda squealed and, careful with the babies Zoe and Zully, she hugged Seb, running a hand through his curly hair. He hadn't cut it in a while, and his hair grew extremely fast, head hair and body hair wise. Oh, Pines. He had been complaining about how they should go to the hairdresser and treat themselves. She knew he just wanted to get his hair trimmed to match the rest of his carefully shaved self. She caught him complaining about his roots growing out and wondering about dying his hair blond again.
It was fun...being with Seb was great. He was a great boyfriend and he did many things that people would think were more appropriate for 'effeminate men or gay men' even though that stereotype wasn't accurate (she knew, Alex and Johnny were horrified at the idea of getting makeup, or nail polish, and shaving their body). If she thought about it, Seb used to be an alien demon- whatever, so things maybe didn't work back then like they did now. Maybe that's why he didn't care doing "man's stuff or woman's stuff" and he saw the world differently than anyone else… She started to see why Seb called a body a 'vessel', he saw his body just like any recipient, because he's had more bodies in the past… How crazy. Maybe he thought of human bodies...as the same? Both might feel the same for him.
"I wonder who they'll look more like...And, if they have your cool alien powers~" Wanda wondered.
"They'll look like you more, I feel it, and continue praying to your God because I have a feeling that they will probably be unfortunate enough to get my powers…" Ax save them all…
Wanda laughed and placed a hand on her belly. "Will you have powers, Zoe? Zully? Do you have something to say?" Wanda suddenly gasped loudly. "WHAT? What happened!?" Seb was on his feet immediately. Wanda's eyes were still wide. "I...I felt them move..." She whispered. Seb frowned a bit but Wanda grabbed his hand and placed it on her belly. "Girls, can you do it again…please?" Wanda felt like crying. This had been the weirdest but most exciting thing in her pregnancy so far. This was the first actual movement she had felt...
Seb's eye widened when he felt them squirm, like little worms. "Oh my gosh…" He started laughing. "They ARE aliens…" He leaned over to kiss his girlfriend. "I just want to see them already!" "I just want them to get out already!" Wanda chuckled and kissed him back. Zoe and Zully...Their daughters, they wanted to meet their daughters so bad now!
There was another movement that made Wanda gasp again and brought them back to reality. "Um, jealous much?" Seb curled up next to Wanda with his head on her belly. "Don't worry, kids, we know you're here, you little dummies~"
Outside of the house where the cute domestic scene was occurring, someone was watching. A man with dark glasses spied from a car parked on the other side. He lowered his binoculars and pulled out his phone. "Yeah, that's him…" he told the person on the other end before nodding to his partner behind the wheel.
His partner nodded back before he started the car and drove away.
